App Store app

Hi,

my App Store app disappeared. How do I get it back? I already tried to reset my iPad and set it up as a new ipad. I’m lost! Please help!

iPad mini, iOS 12

How did you try to reset it exactly? When you set it up as new, did you use a backup?


The App Store App, cannot be removed. It can be moved into a folder, a different home screen, or restricted.


If restoring the iPad did not work, look in Settings->Screen Time->Content & Privacy Restrictions->iTunes and App Store purchases->Installing Apps, and make sure its not turned off.
